Babal Azam gave reporters the death glare at a press conference after the end of the first test in Karachi.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam’s press conference after the first test against New Zealand ended in a rather tense atmosphere as reporters seemed annoyed at being ignored by the skipper. After starting, the reporter said, “Ye koi tariqa nahi hain, yaha sawar ke lai aapko ishare kah rahe hain (this is not the way, i gesture to ask a question repeat),” he cried. , Babar gave the journalist a death glare before media executives turned off the mic.
Babar’s reaction appeared to correspond to an incident a few days ago at a press conference when the reporter in question asked the team’s crank, Nauman Ali, a very critical question. In a rather sharply worded question, the reporter said that Naumann had “hit the ball for centuries.” The spinner on his left arm calmly answered, but the tone of the question didn’t seem to fit well with Babar.
The first Test between Pakistan and New Zealand ended in a draw after the visitors finished his 61/1 in his 138-day chase at Karachi. Babbar declared Pakistan’s innings with one hour of play remaining in the Test. The Kiwis got off to a rocky start to the innings, but poor light allowed them to bowl only 7.3 of their maximum 15 overs, leaving them behind even after a rocky start to the innings.
Early in the game, Babar Azam scored a glorious century (161) as Pakistan posted a strong score of 438 in the first innings. The Kiwis responded strongly but former captain Kane Williamson smashed an unbeaten double century to lead the team’s score to 612/9 for the mammoths. Pakistan then scored twice on 8/31 with Ish Sodhi picking six wickets for the Kiwis. Sarfaraz Ahmed hit an offensive 53 after Imam-ul-Haq was just four runs short of his century. Saud Shakeer also scored his 55 undefeated.
